Arson investigators are looking into yet another suspicious car fire in the Sunland-Tujunga area following a string of other car fires that has residents on high alert.
"After it was put out, the fire department said, 'Well, it looks suspicious,'" said resident Nonna von Sonn, who told Eyewitness News she lost two of her vehicles.Then, two weeks later on May 16, a vehicle that was parked in front of hers caught fire. The flames spread to her car, damaging its front end.
"Our other car, the very front end of it was completely melted because of the other car that had been set on fire," she said.Residents say fortunately, that's about as far as it got, but they worry that next time, they might not be so lucky. "It almost burned the tree on my neighbor's house. It did burn it. They got there soon enough and he had just trimmed it the day before that," said resident Dan Trunfio. "Lucky enough, he cleared it out and probably saved it."Copyright © 2023 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
